He had been a sufferer for a long time, and his mind was entirely unhinged. The greatest sympathy is felt by everyone for his parents and brothers, and the boy will be remembered as a most quiet and unoffensive youth by his companions. His remains were followed to the cemetery on Tuesday by a large concourse of citizens, and the teachers and pupils of the college attended in a body, as a mark of respect to the deceased who was a former pupil. The parents desire to express to their friends, and particularly to the ladies of Jacksboro, their profound appreciation and thanks for the kindness. Rev. Howard made a very touching address during the funeral ceremonies at the grave.
